"I do not have much time, Mr President. Therefore, I will focus on just a few points.
Mr President, firstly, there can be no renationalisation of the ESF just as there can be no renationalisation of CAP. We need more, not less, Europe.
Secondly, there is a dire need for simplification in the process of application. I have met groups who did not bother to apply, even though they are entitled to funding, because the application was so complicated. Some actually had to hire an expert to do the application for them. This is ridiculous and must stop.
Thirdly, I think there is a need to keep both Objective 1 and Objective 2. I represented my group in Mannheim and I saw the benefits of Objective 2. I think that is important.
Finally, I want to say that there is also a need – even though some of my colleagues in the EPP do not agree with me – to look at GDP as not being the exclusive criterion. It should certainly be the main criterion, but not the only one. I think that is a debate we need to have and I look forward to it."@en1
